Anders Krisár's double psychology sculpture

Published May 3, 2023 03:11 PM

Anders Krisár, a Swedish sculptor born in 1973, is known for his sharp dissections of the human body in his sculptures. His realistic pieces often elicit a strong reaction from viewers, as he challenges preconceived notions of the human form and delves into the complexities of the human psyche. Krisár intentionally scratches his impeccably crafted statues, using his art as a means to express recurring themes of fear and violence against objects of beauty.
